A Teesside grandad was still missing today despite a fresh plea from his family.

Businessman and family man Rodney Thrower, pictured above with grandson Dominic, four, was last seen leaving his office at Prontaprint on Riverside Park in Middlesbrough, at 7.10am on Tuesday, November 16.

Mr Thrower, 59, of Fernie Road, Guisborough, visited the office at Brighouse Business Village for around 20 minutes before leaving in his red Citroen Xsara Picasso.

But his distraught family have not seen or heard from him since.

He has still not been traced despite a further plea from his loved ones, who also released another photograph of him.

In a statement, his distressed family said they are missing him and want to see him return home as soon as possible.

Cleveland Police said today inquiries are continuing into his whereabouts. The police helicopter has been involved in the search.
